ELECTRODE COMPARTMENT FOR AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL, A REFRESHING SYSTEM FOR IT AND AN EMULSION TO BE USED THEREFORE

摘要

The invention relates to an electrode compartment for an electrochemical cell, including a bicontinuous microe.pi.ulsion, wherein catalytic parts are generated in-situ in a fluid, which can act as a cathode as well as an anode. The electrode compartment comprises a connection to supply fuel or an oxidator, for example oxygen, to the compartment. The electrode compartment is part of a refreshing system with a reserve container for an emulsion and a storage container for used emulsion, conduits to connect each of the containers with the electrode compartment and a transport unit, for example a pump, to move the emulsion.
